Seattle Anti-Freeze

I love Social Saunas.
Set at ~175°F, it's going to be hot. Sitting on the top bench, if someone puts a scoop of water on the dragon egg heater, I feel transported to a different world. Breathing in that hot air, it could be a tropical vacation. Contrast that feeling with looking out at Elliot Bay in the cold dreary Seattle late fall weather. It's perfect! **

I found a deal for a sauna that they put on the rooftop of a business. It costs $20/person and the limit is 6 people. Because it's a small group and I want to be aware and inclusive of women, 3 spots will be reserved for women.

A social sauna is about ritual, relaxation, and wellness. Quiet conversation may take place, or folks can choose to just silently meditate. Everyone comes looking for something a little different. Take a Cold shower between sauna sessions or cold plunge if you'd like.

For those that love it, enough said. For those that have never tried it, I recommend it highly. I usually pay more and enjoy hot/cold contrast therapy for 2+hours, but this is a chance to dip your feet into it for $20 and because it's private, only 6 of us will be there. Come check it out.

Halloween weekend is the MOST social event of the year and it’s a time when strangers expect to talk to each other. Let's make sure you're ready.

What do you have planned? A costume party, a bar crawl, a work event, or maybe you’re handing out candy to the neighbors, whatever you are getting up to, the whole weekend is packed with chances to meet people. Our 60-minute live, virtual workshop gets you warmed up before you walk in the door.

What you'll walk away with

The infinite opener in your pocket. Costumes, décor, snacks, and the host are all built-in conversation starters. You'll learn how to use them, even if you're not in costume yourself.

A way to keep the conversation going. No more "nice costume!" followed by an awkward silence. You'll practice turning small talk into a real conversation (and having fun doing it).

What to do to make sure you see them again. The best party conversations usually die on November 1st. You'll learn how to turn a good chat into an actual plan, like a horror movie night, a haunted house, or a post-Halloween brunch.

What we"ll do

• Workshop openers live, with real-time feedback on yours
• Practice in small breakout groups
• Learn how to join a group, exit gracefully, and work a room without feeling awkward
• Pick a weekend mission and go try it out

This is for you if...

• You love Halloween but get nervous about the social part
• You tend to end up in the corner of the snack table
• You want to turn "we should hang out sometime" into something that actually happens
• You're new in town, rebuilding your social circle, or just ready to meet more people

Stop sitting on the sidelines of life, jump in and join us
